Caitlyn Jenner’s Campaign Cratered By Spendthrift Brad Parscale, Who Else?

It is a wise person who learns from their own mistakes and an even wiser one who learns from the mistakes of others. Caitlyn Jenner is not in the latter category. She hired Brad Parscale to strategize her campaign for California governor and all he’s done is spend her war chest, which was limited to begin with. Politics is full of grift and corruption, yes indeed, but Brad Parscale is one of a kind. He’s not a strategist, he’s a money spigot and if he’s hooked up to your checkbook, oh mama.

Jenner raised $747,000 and spent around $910,000. The campaign is $156,000 in debt plus it has $21,000 to spend on the final stretch, which is a farce. Nobody sets up a campaign this way, just the opposite. The end is when you do the big push.

And who spent the money? If you check into Parscale’s finances you need look no further. Plus, Jenner even tried Trump’s money bomb strategy and that’s turned out to be a plain bomb, no money attached. Politico:

More details: Jenner’s campaign has paid about $182,000 to WinRed, a fundraising platform that former President Donald Trump used and remains popular among conservative candidates. Like Trump, Jenner’s campaign augmented its haul through WinRed by auto-checking a box that signs supporters up for recurring donations.

That cut would be high for contributions, but Jenner is also using WinRed to sell merchandise, from T-shirts to dog leashes.

The campaign has sent about $67,000 to Parscale Strategy, LLC, the firm run by former Trump campaign strategist Parscale. It spent $25,000 on Fleischer’s media strategy company Ari Fleischer Communications.

Among Parscale Strategy’s reported spending was a $1,800 “staff meeting” at Nobu, a fancy Malibu restaurant, and $1,300 for a limousine service that ferried Jenner to Los Angeles meetings.

Nobu is Robert DeNiro’s restaurant and you don’t have to spend $1,800 to go there. DeNiro doesn’t blow money like Brad Parscale and arguably he could. Parscale has some kind of a pathological condition when it comes to money. Some people simply cannot be fiduciaries. They get their hands on a pool of money and it starts funneling into their own pockets and being squandered.

Parscale rose very suddenly in life from a basically broke computer guy to one of the key players of the Trump campaign and the giddy joy ride of it all was too much for him. He can’t function now, apparently. Trump went to Parscale to put together his From the Desk Of Donald J. Trump blog and that was a complete fiasco, lasted 29 days.

Next, Parscale got involved with Jenner and all that has been about is eating a lot of sushi in Malibu and joy riding down PCH in a limo. Life is but a dream, I guess.

Meanwhile, Parscale’s client, Jenner, is polling fifth with 3% support and she’s supposed to climb this Sisyphean mountain with twenty grand. Ballots go out mid-August and the vote is September 14. Good luck, Caitlyn. I’d say discuss it with Brad, but he’d insist on chartering a jet to Cancun and staying in Ted Cruz’ favorite hotel, and you don’t have that kind of money.
